Congratulations no3|jm! How impolite of me, should've said that in my earlier post Mmm Gundam HG. Good value kits, IMHO.

that's ok bro. no harm done. dami ko tuloy naalala with the subject you started. hehehe. ;D plus matttracker's post pa.

it was 1992. i was college then when i started collecting. nagtitipid sa baong pera para lang makabili nang comics. hehehe. ;D with my cousin's influence on Image. super kwento pa sya on the comics market. na ito ang "IN". i was just browsing his Wizard magazine when i stumbled into this ad by Jim Lee. his WildC.A.T.s! ayun na, dun na nag-start. then, i found out that he was an ex-X-Men penciller. which leads to Silvestri's CyberForce to CyberForce & WildCats' Killer Instinct Crossover (remember, Philippines were mentioned on the first page of WildCats issue 7). that leads me to Portacio's Wetworks & Stone. and to McFarlane's Spawn. i have his first 100 issues. then after Image died a slow death (meron pang Image ha. hehehe. ;D), i turned to DC & Marvel titles. puro special event type of stories lang. no on-goings. until Nightwing & Marvel Knights' Daredevil.

anyone remembers Joe Madureira's Battle Chasers??? it was great... at first. hahaha! ;D

just a reminder mga bros... Jim Lee will be back on WILDCATs relaunch with Grant Morrison this August. me? will just wait for the hardbound collected edition. or the absolute treatment like in HUSH.

I would love to have the hardbound collected edition! It would be a great addition to my library! ;D Hmmm, familiar nga yung Battle Chasers...

Battle Chasers? You mean this?


Wow, that was a very long time ago, I remember hunting for single issues of the comic, since I wasn't able to pre-order them earlier, so I just settled for the TPB... ;D

Sadly though, comic collecting has really plummeted these days, but I'm quite surprised that toy collecting is somehow gaining grounds...

yup, that's the one. ;D that title looks promising at first. fantasy. actions. magics. and cool Madureira artworks...

but for Madureira... well, video games happened. ;D

i remember battle chasers mainly cause of calibretto and red monica gave up comic collecting too 3 years ago then shifted to tformer collecting. only one's i kept were my sandman collection and some frank miller books. can't wait for the movies sin city 2 and 300

Hi mattracker,

That library idea sounds good. Let me know when it's open so I can visit

Hi Checkmate,

I suggest you look at the Kotobukiya Robocop Trilogy series. Nice but not too expensive. Figures are about 3 inches tall.

Happy Collecting,

Dencio

Thanks for the link pre. i like it!
